Hey guy, I’m looking at BASK, BFSK, BPSK, and QPSK right now for class. My teacher sucks, and I was hoping someone could provide a resource that discusses both the math and simulink models of each in tandem.
I can understand the math (despite our teacher not really going over it), but beyond the basic block representation we have never gone into detail about the simulink models or what parts of the math they are doing. (She shows us a diagram consisting of about 4-6 blocks for modulating the signals and then when we go to implement it ourselves we have to scour outside of class resources to figure out which 10-15 blocks we ACTUALLY need. I.e. she shows us a schematic with a block titled “phase shift” but that doesn’t actually exist in simulink and we waste hours finding an article that discusses how a delay block is used in conjunction with other blocks to accomplish phase shifting.)
For the past year I’ve been making $16/hr as a shift manager, which has been my position for over two years. As of December 31, 2021 minimum wage in my area went up to $15/hr, which would apply to new hires as sales associates. Shift managers make $1 more per hour than sales associates, but considering my 2 years experience at CVS shouldn’t my rate have been increased to at least $17/hr?
I'm not a nurse. I don't have any nurse friends so I thought I'd ask here before I try the nurses board.
I'm alarmed after a conversation I had with my mother, regarding my cousin who is a nurse.
Mum says the cousin works full time at a large public hospital, and also works as many casual shifts as she can at a private hospital. At her full time job she's rostered for day shift, but she'll pick up a night shift at her other job in between. This means she's working a day, that night and the next day with no break.
She's such a zombie her mum (my aunt) has to drive her to and from work and she'll grab maybe a couple hours nap in between if she can.
My questions:
Is there a mandated break for nurses between their shifts?
Is she breaking any rules?
I'm worried about her well-being, nobody can work like this and apparently she's been going for at least 12 months. I'm also worried about her making mistakes at work due to fatigue. If she's too exhausted to drive should she really be working?
Would her union cover her if she had an accident?
I admire anyone with a strong work eithic, but this just seems extreme to me.
I tried to mention my concerns to my mum but she bit my head off. She used to be a nurse and said this kind of thing is normal, but she retired 20 something years ago and is well out of the loop.
Location is South Australia.
Deciding if it is worth staying at CVS a bit longer depending on my pay increase after these changes take place.
Its kinda ridiculous that our shift schedule (we work 24/7 day and night all year in IT-Support) is so tight that if anyone gets sick we have huge troubles to fill that spot, normally leaving the dayshift understaffed were we usually need more people.
The thing is people want to leave the job because aside from the night and weekend bonuses they dont pay very well for a huge amount of work every day but everyone knows if we loose 1-2 people that the remaining teammates would basicly not be able to handle both the amount of work and to keep the 24/7 schedule staffed.
I talked with our middle-management often about this (btw. they are 3 people just to lead our small team which is ridiculous too) but somehow they dont understand because the work gets done people just work very diligent and basicly sometimes work like 2 people normally would on such a job.
I dont know what would be a good next step now. I was thinking about trying to talk to the managing directors of the company directly to give us maybe a few more people in our team, but maybe that would anger my teamleaders ?
My co-workers and I are really desperate and something has to change.
Btw. our company had the highest revenue of all time this year...
I used to work at McDonalds in high school. Made junk money but had management that cared about their employees as if we were their own kids (they also made junk money). One of the things they did was have a 2 hour minimum shift- I was told it was federal law. More recently, I not been able to locate any laws stating that there is a 2 hour minimum on shifts. Anyone have federal law or policy on this?
Hey so here's a guide to how I beat poverty and we both get £40. I will be shooting my self in the foot because you will be taking my shifts but hey. £40 each on completion of first shift (can just do a short shift).
Basically they are a staffing agency that are app based and you choose your shifts whenever. No real interview and can get supermarket work with no experience or commitment. Just an online interview where they essentially explain the app to you. I've made my bread by actually doing shifts (nights pay up to 14/hour but it's rare).
Use code LUKET31 on signup. At https://syft.app.link/join
If you don't use my code you still got option to work flexible shifts. Major UK brands use this service when understaffed (Yodal, Tesco, bon Marche, Sainsbury's etc and I'm not from a very big area).
I've made me and my friends some bread time to crack that shit in half and share the love. Once your all set up if you still haven't entered my code (I think it's only after your verified) go to settings, promo code and enter LUKET31.
YOU CAN ALSO GET YOUR OWN CODE FROM THERE AND SHARE TO FRIENDS/FAMILY MEMBERS.
ALSO I GET THAT THIS IS NOT YOUR USUAL BEERMONEY GUIDE SO IF THERE'S SOMEWHERE BETTER FOR THIS LET ME KNOW
My job is moving from 8 hour shifts to 12 hour shifts. They are saying that means 45 mins of breaks for the whole shift.
Looking at Citizens Information it says "more than 12 hours requires a 1 hour break". Which class does a 12 hour shift fall into because I can't really tell which one a 12 hour shift falls into.
I start work at 3:20 AM (soon to be 1:20 AM) and management at the DS I work at has told me that I am no longer able to accept RTS VETs at night (ranging from 5:00 PM - 10:00 PM) due to the fact that I would work the following morning.
Are there any labor laws / Amazon policies in place that support this? I have not been able to find any and would rather it be in writing rather than the DS just claiming it out of nowhere as I've been working those shifts for months. I work in California if that has an impact for this situation. I would assume something simple like this would be implemented into A to Z if it was policy/law. I just want to get paid lol
Thanks for any help
I started working for the bar at my university about 2 months ago, and we've just got a new bar manager. He has said that everyone has to work a minimum of 3 shifts a week, or we will likely be fired - I was open when I started that 2 shifts with the odd 3 was the most I could do due to uni and other issues.
I have a long term disability (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) which I was open about from the start of my employment (before he started), and which prevents me from doing 3 shifts a week, every week. My question is, do I have any protections if he fires me for being unable to do 3 shifts a week due to my disability, as I was open about it from the start of my employment? I have a 0 hours contract, and was told when I started that I would be working as many shifts as I wanted to, availability dependant.
Thank you for all you do!
Edit to add: England
18 and Still considering a chipotle position for 17$ an hour in New York. I haven't gotten my diploma or GED yet since I haven't gone back to school but I want to work a full time position (6-8 hours a day 7 days a week) was wondering generally what options are available, what times, minimum requirements, and what positions?
Not much else to say. I don't like to complain to anyone in real life, so I'll complain here.
